Background
History
In 1144, when the lord of Richard's Castle was expelled from Presteigne, he built the castle in Stapleton which remains today. It became the centre of his lordship in the Welsh Marches. During the Middle Ages, Stapleton was more important than Presteigne. In 2006, an archaeological excavation in a field found ancient remains. <gallery> Image:Stapleton_hill.JPG|Stapleton Hill and Castle Image:Stapleton_Presteigne.JPG|Presteigne viewed from Stapleton Hill (2007) Image: Stapleton_hell_peak.JPG|Stapleton and Presteigne viewed from Hell Peak </gallery>
